192.168.1.1 keeps going to Management Mode Firmware Upgrade page

When I tried accessing the Linksys router page (192.168.1.1), I keep getting the Management Mode Firmware Upgrade page and not the router settings page. It doesn't even ask for my username/ password.

As you may have guessed, I can't access the internet when plugged in to the Linksys router, but when I have my PC directly connected to the modem, I can access the internet just fine.

So, I tried to login to the router settings, but I keep getting that firmware upgrade page. I downloaded the latest firmware for my router, WRT54G v 7.0, and installed it. The upgrade was a success but when I go to 192.168.1.1, I still get the same firmware upgrade page again.

Hi I also experienced same problem. my problem keeps showing same subject above and when I successfully loaded the updated firmware, when I logged to GUI, after click the administration tab. it keeps upgrading the firmware theres no way to disable that process. and after reboot or just turned off the router. when it turned, again back to same problem which showing Management Mode Firmware Upgrade page. It waste my money and time of always troubleshooting of this F$%^ router. I hate this model and firmware which developed by your engineers. LINKSYS worst ever now.. grrrrr....

What's the model number of your Linksys router? If the router goes to Management Mode, the best way to upgrade the firmware is via the TFTP file. Check if there's an available firmware for your router. There's an upgrade utility (TFTP file) from the BEFSR41 v4.0 that you can use. Here's the link to the download page for the TFTP file, in case you want to use it: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148514

I have a WRT54GS ver 6 running on a Windows 2012 srvr R2 and Windows 10 desktops/laptops.

The router had not been hooked up for a while. I plugged it into my laptop and was able to get logged in by going to 192.168.1.1. After that I did a factory reset on the router and now am no longer able to get to a login prompt at 192.168.1.1 it either times out or right after a reboot of both router and laptop it goes to Managment Mode Firmware Upgrade page. I have not tried to upgrade the firmware as there is no upgrade according to http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148648.

When I perform an ipconfig I get no default gateway. I've tried to flush the dns to no effect. I am pulling an Autoconfiguration IPv4 address of 169.254.90.223 with a subnet of 255.255.0.0 even though everything is set to obtain an IP automatically. There is nothing set to static.
